Twelve Things That It Took Me Over 50 Years to Learn

1.  Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

2.  If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be "meetings"

3.  There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illiness"

4.  You should not confuse your career with your life.

5.  Nobody cares if you can't dance well, just get up and dance.

6.  Never lick a steak knife.

7.  The most destructive force in the universe is gossip

8.  You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight savings time.

9.  There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday.  That time is age 11.

10.  The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.

11.  A person, who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.  (This is very important. Pay attention, it never fails)

12.  Your friends love you anyway.
